Fast forward four years, and we come to the 2018 World Cup played in Russia. Many things have changed since the world’s last taste of National teams battling to determine who the best is. Unfortunately, this year’s tournament will not involve the USA.

Before the season, we asked some of the Milwaukee Torrent players who they predict will win this years World Cup.

Elvis Barclay – I will say Germany will win the World Cup because of how good of a team they are!

Drew Ruggles – It’s a toss-up. Spain, Germany, Brazil, or France.

Mike Mayberry – Argentina, Brazil, or Germany

Andrew Wiedebach – Such a tough question ha but honestly I think Spain have the best chance. Watching them in some of these friendlies before the World Cup they look too good, and have such a deep roster. I’m looking forward to seeing France, Belgium, and England though.

Stuart Grable – I feel like a number of teams can take it, to be honest. I can’t pick one right now, so I’m going with Brazil, France, or Spain.

Isaac Peryra – My heart will be always with Mexico.

Alex Stojanovski – Argentina or Germany

Women’s Predictions

Mariah Downs – I think Brazil will win, or at least be in the finals. They have the key players all around the pitch that have quality. Obviously Neymar, but also Costa, Coutinho, Marcelo and Silva are amazing players too.
